Title: Seat Lifter advice please
Post by: walchy01 on 08 January 2012, 07:44

Morning all

I am wanting to take my drivers side seat lifter off, u know the thing you pull up on the side of the seat so you can get into the back :wink: But it seems solid, do not want to break it pulling it off, the reason for taking it off is the trim surround was missing and i now have one so want to fit it :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

When i say it is solid, i mean i have had a full strength pull at it and it does not moveat all :angry:

Thanks for any tip or something i'm missing here :wink:

Mines the opposite, it won't stay on! Its definitely a push fit though, so try and prise it off

use a pair of long nosed plyers and prise it off using the metal frame work of the seat...
